Joh...Thank you, Larue, glad you enjoyed the tunes.<br /><br />Johnny Smith was one of the preeminent jazz guitarists of the 1950's, up there with Van Eps and the like - but a family situation made him hang it up and walk away at the peak. <br />One of my favorites - his chordal approach is masterful.<br /><br />Indeed, Greg Howe is the guitar player in video 2, Tetsuo Sakurai is the bassist and putative bandleader, and the tune is by Jaco Pastorius, from Weather Report's <I>Mr. Gone</I> album. <br /><br />Reversing the arrangement and playing the opening bass solo in ensemble was a nice touch, I thought.darkblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06584075324283109495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36572024.post-20268325114243573232009-05-24T22:37:54.912-06:002009-05-24T22:37:54.912-06:00Ok, I'm half way thru the next vid, who ARE those ...Ok, I'm half way thru the next vid, who ARE those guys!!!!! *eyesbulge* <br /><br />Who's Greg Howe, is he the git? <br /><br />Damn, I seen Mahavishnu and I love old Return To Forever, be it early or later . . . this is SPIKED! *G* <br /><br />BTW, had to rip your first vid to Howdyville.
